Classic fights I've watched recently

Bernard Hopkins vs Keith Holmes

[gilgamesh]

Evander Holyfield vs Michael Moorer

I gotta tell ya. You could make a strong case Holyfield should've kept his title here. Feels like a 1 point fight either way. Doesn't really feel like Moorer truly took Holyfield's title.

I thought he did, and I wanted Holyfield to win.

Andrew Council vs Buddy McGirt

[gilgamesh]

Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield

118-110 Lewis

Probably the worst robbery in the history of Heavyweight Championship Boxing.

Ronald "Winky" Wright vs Andrew Council

[Caractacus]

-1985-

[gilgamesh]

Muhammad Ali vs Ken Norton - 8 rounds to 4 for Norton

Muhammad Ali vs Ken Norton 2 - 8 rounds to 4 for Ali, not really as close as I expected it'd be.

[gilgamesh]

Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield 2

117-111 Lewis

Holyfield did better this time, but not a lot better. Lewis definitely did a lot less though.

Bernard Hopkins vs Robert Allen 1, 2+3

[gilgamesh]

Ken Norton vs Jimmy Young - I had it 8 rounds to 7 for Young. Could've gone either way.

Ken Norton vs Scott LeDoux - Norton controls most of the first 7 rounds then LeDoux makes it tough as all hell toward the end. I think the draw was fair.

Ken Norton vs Ron Stander
Ken Norton vs Duane Bobick
Ken Norton vs Lorenzo Zanon

Gianfranco Rosi vs Gilbert Baptist

[PredatorHayds]

Colin Dunn- Billy Schwer. A really good domestic fight.

Bernard Hopkins vs Gilbert Baptist

[PredatorHayds]

Marciano-Louis in colour on Youtube. Been a while since I watched it. Louis despite being way best his best had a couple of moments and won a few rounds.

[handsofstone]

Gerald McClellan vs Gilbert Baptist

[handsofstone]

Roy Jones Jr vs Art Serwano

[goose 5]

Roberto Duran- Luigi Minchillo It's a bout that isn't mentioned much but it's a real treat for Duran fans. Duran fought at a very fast pace in very hot weather and showed excellent conditioning but his timing was off a bit. The cut he sustained forced him to miss another tune up bout that was scheduled for 6 weeks later so he blew up in weight and had to reduce for the Benitez fight. Just look at how lean Duran looks against Minchillo and compare his body to the way he looked against Benitez.

[gilgamesh]

Manny Pacquiao vs Boonsai Sangurat

The fight where Pacquiao loses his Flyweight title. This is the most thorough ass kicking I've ever seen Pacquiao take. He doesn't just get stopped here, he gets beat up in every round. No other fight he lost can you say that.

Bernard Hopkins vs Antwun Echols 1+2

[gilgamesh]

Manny Pacquiao vs Nedal Hussein

Very rough fight. Lots of fouls from Hussein, he gets a point deducted at one point, he could've gotten several more. He also drops Pacquiao at one point in the fight. Lots of bad blood in this one, crowd gets rowdy.


Manny Pacquiao vs Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov

Pacquiao against a journeyman in a Featherweight non title bout while he was the reigning IBF Jr. Featherweight Champion. The Journey Serikzhan drops Pacquiao by surprise in the 4th round in a fight Pacquiao otherwise dominates. Pac showed lots of vulnerability early in his career for sure.

Antwun Echols vs Charles Brewer

What a wild slugfest that one is!
